Given below are two statement :

Question:

Given below are two statement :

Statement I : o-Nitrophenol is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding

Statement II : 0-Nitrophenol has high melting point due to hydrogen bonding. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are false

  2. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

  3.  Both Statement I and Statement II are true

  4. Statement I is true but Statement II is false


Correct Option: , 4

Solution:

o-Nitrophenol is steam volatile due to intramolecular hydrogen H-bonding. but m-Nitrophenol has more melting point due to its symmetry.
